Gold Macbook Porn

The newly redesigned comes in gold. And it’s gorgeous.

Mashable notes:

With an Intel core processor, a full-sized keyboard featuring 17% bigger keys and a Force Touch trackpad that detects how much pressure and force you put on the trackpad (and responds by giving you pop-up definitionsof words and Wikipedia details), it’s impressive to the touch. Not to mention the MacBook touts the new USB-C port, which will likely come to all laptops in the future.

The MacBook comes with a 12-inch screen and weighs 2 pounds. It consumes 30% less power than the previous model.

The size of the new MacBook is reminiscent of an iPad with a built-in keyboard case instead of a laptop.

When you open up the new MacBook, the keys immediately start to glow and are backlit by individual LEDs under each keycap. Meanwhile, Apple’s new San Francisco font from the Apple Watch is used on the keyboard for the new MacBook, too.

There is a new butterfly mechanism underneath the keys, so there’s less travel when pressing down on keys compared to what you’d find with a traditional scissor mechanism.

Right below the keyboard is Apple’s brand-new Force Touch trackpad. Apple already has the best trackpads in the business. Force Touch just makes them that much better.

The pressure-sensitive trackpad responds to how hard you press on something or what sort of gesture you do. A deep press on a word or phrase brings up Spotlight-based information about that word, including a dictionary definition or Wikipedia entry.
